What do you want to be when you’re older?

When I was little, I said "princess"

And they laughed because it was cute.

When I got older, I said "The President"

And they smiled because I could dream big.

When I was 10, I said "doctor"

And they said that I was dreaming too big.

When I was 12, I said "engineer"

And they said I wasn't good enough.

When I was 13, I said "engineer"

And they said that I wouldn't make money.

When I was 14, I said "engineer"

And they said to be realistic.

When I was 15, I said "I don't know anymore"

And they said to figure it out.

When they ask me now, I say "happy"

And they laugh at me because they think it's cute.
